The dailies are in and we’re watching To Kill A Mockingbird! Our 30th episode and 3rd of the Gregory Peck run, this adaptation of the American classic novel of the same name is a household name — for good reason. This is one of Peck's more well known roles. He plays Atticus Finch a widowed lawyer in Depression-era Alabama, defends a Black man against an undeserved rape charge, and tries to educate his young children against prejudice.

So, pour yourself a Tequila Mockingbird (I know, I know, be more predictable) and hit play — Brewvies is back!

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Start by muddling the watermelon cubes and jalapeno slice together in the bottom of a chilled shaker. Don't mash too hard. You only need to extract the juices.

2. Next, add the tequila, lime juice, and agave syrup.

3. Then add the ice. Shake the shaker vigorously for about 30 seconds. When the outside is covered in beads of cool condensation, the drink is ready.

4. Use a fine strainer to block any bits of watermelon and jalapeno. Generally, Tequila Mockingbirds are served either on the rocks or in a chilled highball glass.

The dailies are in and we’re watching The Boys From Brazil! Our 29th episode and second of the Gregory Peck run, this film (available on Freevee) is a wild diversion from last week's light hearted Roman Holiday. The Boys From Brazil follows a Nazi hunter (Lawrence Olivier) in Paraguay who discovers a sinister and bizarre plot to rekindle the Third Reich. A bizarre plot lead by Peck's Dr. Josef Mengele and aided by James Mason's Eduard Siebert. It's a doozy of a film filled with murder, intrigue, and clones...yeah...clones.

So, pour yourself a Suffering Bastard a.k.a A Nazi Fighting Cocktail and hit play — Brewvies is back!

We continue our Blake Edwards run with a look at the movie everyone knows because Kurt Hummel performed Le Jazz Hot on Glee and changed lives. Anyways...it's Victor/Victoria! An incredibly fun film, it stars Julie Andrews and Robert Preston. Andrews is a struggling female soprano who finds work playing a male female impersonator, but it quickly proves to complicate her personal life. Since the film takes place in Paris it was only natural for Blake and Kate to get trashed on French 75s. Go on, join them! You know you want to. 

Ingredients:

1½ ounces gin, such as Hendrick's

¾ ounce fresh lemon juice

¾ ounce simple syrup

2 ounces Champagne

Long spiral lemon twist (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1: Combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously until outside of shaker is very cold, about 20 seconds.

Step 2: Strain cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer or a slotted spoon into a large flute. Top with Champagne; garnish with lemon twist.

Inspector Jacques Clouseau is on the case! Kate and Blake have drunk a case...so that's kind of similar, right? Brewvies is back, continuing it's Blake Edwards run with The Pink Panther (1963). Directed by Blake Edwards and starring Peter Sellers (Clouseau), David Niven, Robert Wagner, and Capucine this screwball mystery/comedy started a franchise that's been adored ever since. But, does the original hold up against the iconic films that came after it? Find out what Kate and Blake think after they've had a few Pink Panthers.

The dailies are in and we're watching The Great Race! The 1965 screwball comedy directed by our next subject, Blake Edwards wasn't a box office hit, but it is somewhat of a cult classic among the camp communities. Starring Jack Lemmon, Natalie Wood, and Tony Curtis this is a riot of a film from start to finish – which is saying something since it clocks in at an impressive 2 hours and 40 minutes. 

Which naturally Kate has something to say about. And after drinking a few Pace Cars, she's letting it fly! Pour yourself one and hit play — Brewvies is back!
